7-9-25: my 46th finished book of 2025! It‘s been a good year of memoir reading for me. I‘ve loved Al Pacino since as far back as I can remember. The Godfather was on in my house constantly. I‘ve been following his career and to be able to hear about it in his own words really brought it to life. Rough upbringing, sick mom, South Bronx lifestyle and through it all he became a movie star. He doesn‘t seem full of himself. He just loves his art.

Even though interviews are definitely not my favouritw kind of text type I enjoyed the interviews with Judi Dench very much. She is a very witty person and her insight on the different characters were very interesting. I‘m going to use excerpts of this book in my English lessons for sure. 💪💪💪

That moment when you‘re reading a book that randomly mentions a country — and you just happen to BE in that exact country! 🤯😀

Ruthiella It was meant to be! 🤯😂 2mo

BarbaraBB Very cool. How do you like Bulgaria? 2mo
Amiable @BarbaraBB We‘ve been only in the northern part, within an hour or so of the Danube — Veliko Tarnivo, Abanasi, Vidin and Belogradchik. The fortress at Belogradchik was amazing. The Bulgarian landscape in the Balkan Mountains is stunning. The villages and towns so far —okay. A couple on our tour spent time in Sofia and Plovdiv before joining us. They said Sofia was underwhelming and Plovdiv was so great they want to come back there. 2mo
Amiable @BarbaraBB Honestly, I‘d say Romania was my favorite so far, particularly Braşov. Although the food there is heavier (lots of pork and sausage) so I‘m enjoying the Bulgarian cuisine better —I don‘t feel like I need to take a nap after every meal! 2mo
BarbaraBB Thank you for sharing! I am very intrigued by Romania, I‘ve never been there. And in Bulgaria only a few days in Sofia which I liked but I envy you for traveling there 🤍 2mo

An entertaining autobiography of a movie icon and what is surprising a very humble and insecure man.

This week we celebrate the best in the books we read in the past year. It's time for the Book Oscars!! We debate fun categories such as best villain and best scene before announcing the winners for best book, best character, and best author. We love doing this episode!

Also, if you like upcoming book news we have a bit of that in the beginning. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

I can't possibly pick favorites from this list. So random thoughts, instead:

🩵 Up is my favorite movie ever. It warms my icy heart. I cry 3 times during it to this day.
🩵 Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of my favorite actors. I'm so sad he died so young.
🩵 When Pulp Fiction came out, our local art theatre showed it during their Oscar series, and a bunch of elderly ladies who were regulars walked out in disgust. 🤣🫠

dabbe I gulp-sob snot out of my nose every time I watch the opening of UP! 😭 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 3mo
dabbe Fab score, too! 🤩🤩🤩 3mo
lil1inblue @dabbe Yeah, the opening scene is definitely an ugly cry for me, too. 😭 And the score is because the era covers my high school years, when I had a crush on a boy who wanted to become Stanley Kubrick. 😂 He broke my teenaged heart, but he also introduced me to so many good films! 😉 3mo
dabbe @lil1inblue At least one good thing came out of it! 🤗 3mo

Wonderful! I will have to plan an entire day for watching Al‘s 🎥 ‘cause somehow, I‘ve not seen many of them😳

I absolutely love listening to autobiographies/memoirs that are read by the author(s). I‘m always fascinated & intrigued by their life experiences.

MemoirsForMe Agreed! Love when celebs narrate their own books and need to see more Pacino films after this great read. 🙌🏻 4mo
DieAReader @MemoirsForMe 💖🎬So many movies to watch!! 4mo
CoverToCoverGirl I‘m excited for this one, but my library hold is still several weeks away. 4mo
